Time goes by so quickly, and the following is a short update on the quality of the 2007 vintages from those regions which we have in our range of wines.
The northern area of the Rhone (Hermitage, Croze Hermitage etc.) was completely ruined by rain in August, and it was not until September that the sun got the upper hand.
In the southern Rhone area (Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Luberon) and in the Provence as well (Les Baux de Provence, Cotes de Provence) it was generally much too dry.
This meant that the harvest in the north was too big, and too small in the south. The quality of the wine produced by the Chateau La Canorgue, the Domaine Terres Blanches, the Domaine du Jas d’Esclans, the Clos du Joncuas and the Domaine de Marcoux will be just as good as it was in the past years. You will be able to order the young wines produced by Jas d’Esclans, as well as the white and rose wines, from us from March/April 2008 on.
